XML Namespaces use URL syntax to help allow them to be globally unique identifiers. They are not used to determine where to request a resource from. Since no resource is being requested, there is no request to add security to, so there is no benefit to using HTTPS. Changing the URL to add an `s` character makes it a **different** URL and thus a **different** namespace and thus **not** SVG.
